Part 2 – Approach 1 – Simplest GUI, hardest work for (some of) the user(s)

This approach would be based on the new feature only being of interest to the most technical users. For casual users who may not want to use the new feature, almost nothing would change.

Those who image with narrow band filters over multiple sessions and make full use of the Scheduler module would potentially benefit most from flexible naming but may also be accepting of a ‘lower level’ interface to take advantage of it.

For this approach the GUI changes very little – the Directory & Prefix textboxes change name to Format & Target, and the Postfix tick boxes disappear. A new tick box could be added that sets the filename format to ‘legacy mode’ – ie. you get the current default behaviour of just using sub-directories for the Frame Types, and a filename of Target Name and a numerical suffix.
The tooltip for the Format textbox displays the information from my first post above in more detail.
To use any of the new feature tags the user has to type them in the Format textbox themselves.
